You can't have multiple hostgroup definitions within a single 'define
hostgroup'. You'll need two hostgroup definitions as so--

define hostgroup{
			hostgroup_name			INFORMATIQUE
			alias					pc du
service informatique
			contact_groups			david
			members				levens
			}

define hostgroup{
			hostgroup_name			INTERNET
			alias					service
internet motorpresse
			contact_groups			david
			members				mail,ftp
			}

As far as not being able to find host 'ftp', do you have a 'define
host{' with host_name of 'ftp'? It seems to me you might be confusing
service definitions for host definitions.
